Okay, I am putting up a new post! We will have to remind this week's webmaster to write something tomorrow during morning work!
I hope you all have a fun half day, and you are finishing up with your solar system projects!

Almost time to go back to school!
Hello again from sunny Mexico!
Today I thought of you folks up there in the snow as I ordered nachos on the beach and played in the waves! Ha ha! I hear you got about 5 inches of snow today??
While in Mexico I learned a little bit about different accents. Apparently the Spanish accent I have has more of a Dominican or Argentinian sound to it. This is probably because all of the Spanish I hear at school is mainly from Mrs. Hanton or kids from the DR! I will have to give you an example when I get back. The "y" sounds different. I was very proud of the way I was able to communicate, though! I think my Spanish is much improved!
I didn´t get to scuba dive because it was really windy, making the ocean too dangerous. That´s okay, though. I still had a good time.
I´m glad to hear some of you are getting your reading logs done! Can´t wait to see you all on Monday!
Love, Ms. Medler

Ms. Medler in Mexico
¡Hola!
¿Como estan? I am here in Mexico, enjoying the sun and eating a lot of nachos. :) So far I have been able to visit the beach a few times, but have not been diving yet. My instructor wasn´t feeling well, so I think we are going to go out tomorrow. We are going to do some practice activities where I have to swim through square hula hoops without touching any part of it. I´m not sure how well I´ll do!
How have your vacations been going? Everyone getting to relax? I hope you are all READING! I have been reading a ton!
Hope all is well! See you very soon!
Love, Ms. Medler

Happy Valentine's Day!
Wow, vacation, Valentine's Day, Friday the 13th, and Mismatch Day! No wonder you guys were out of control! Hee hee! Just kidding. I think we had a pretty fun day, actually. The party was delicious, Science was full of creative ideas, and Coraline was spooky!
I hope you all have a fantastic vacation, and I will see you in 9 days! I'll write a few blog posts from Mexico and tell you what I'm up to!
Happy Valentine's Day!
Love, Ms. Medler

Lucky, Lucky Me!
Wow! You all made my birthday very special! What I am most impressed with is the fact that this class was able to eat cake, brownies, and chips, have a quick, impromptu party, and then still be able to focus enough to do the math lesson! That takes SKILLS! You're terrific!
Ms. Hayes' reading group has to finish reading their pages and then complete the worksheet that goes along with it. There is no other assigned homework. :) My birthday gift to you!
Thank you very much for making me feel special and loved. I am lucky to be your teacher!
Love, Ms. Medler

I smell a vacation coming up...
Hi everyone!
We didn't do a lot of blogging this week, so I thought I'd post some thoughts. It's been a little wacky with all the illnesses going through our classroom! Amanda's mom, thanks for letting us know about Amanda! She is not the only one who has been a victim of the Germs of Room 246. I'm going to have to disinfect every single doorknob, pencil, desk, and chair next week!
We had a great visit to the PEM on Friday. The people in my group had so many thoughtful questions and ideas....way to go! I got a good report from the other chaperons as well. We learned about propaganda, and saw some examples at the museum. The kids are going to have to create a piece of propaganda when we learn about the Stamp Act, the Intolerable Acts, and the Townshend Acts that happened during the American Revolution. They are going to have to protest one of these acts through the artistic medium of their choosing.
In math, we began unit 7, which is a very quick unit. It's all about exponents, powers of 10, and expanded notation. We should be able to finish it before vacation. I got some comments this week about math being FUN! Yay!
Is anyone going to see the ice sculptures downtown this weekend? I'm going to go check it out with Happy & Aria. They're excited to finally spend some time outside! Aria doesn't handle the cold very well. Even with a sweater, she shivers! Then we are going to visit my new niece. Then I promise to correct all of your tests! I pinky promise! :)
Hope you all are having a good weekend! Go outside! Run! It's going to be beautiful weather!!

PS: One more week until vacation! Wooo Hooo!
